Gee who would have thought that I would have something in common with the Taliban, ‘cause i think those bands suck also.

[SevenofNine]

ROFL I hear about that one ROFL

Going back to Vatican embassy I think they play Metallica Enter the sandman LOL!

[Sivad]

How ‘bout some Slim Whitman? Hell, it worked on
the Martians.

They should add the Spice Girls to the playlist.

[VRWCmember]

The biggest difference between the Spice Girls movie and a porn flick: the porn flick has a better music soundtrack.

howsa’about a healthy dose of Polka Music that would do wouldn’t it?

[Buckeye McFrog]

a co-worker, who was a Muslim, once told me that if you want to defeat the Taliban just continuously air-drop live pigs and Playboy magazines on them. It will drive them absolutely bonkers and they’ll be unable to function.

Shoot to Thrill

If the locals don't like it then too bad. At least it didn't say they were playing Rap! I doubt we will ever be considered buddies either. We can fight & die & they don't like our music bugging their enemy? Shaking my head again.

[Ransomed]

Just pipe in “A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor” and sneak up on them when they fall unconscious due to terminal boredom.

I’d go old school on them. Led Zep, The WHO, the Floyd. There are some particular selections that would raise the hair on Attila the Huns neck if they can give it enough volume. It would all be brand new over there. I wouldn’t play it all the time though. Just crank it up when they’re opening a can of whoop ass. In fact the rest of the time they should continuously play Slim Whitman and Streisand. Keep them nauseated.

Oh, for heaven's sakes! There is a Geneva Convention, ya know!

Sure, they are twisted, child-molesting murderers and deviates, but jeesh...have a little mercy!

[CholeraJoe]

Betcha Khalid Sheik Mohammed heard “Enter Sandman” about a zillion times.

[a fool in paradise]

I think there are some academics who don’t like us broadcasting Western music into the Talibans’ holdouts.

I don’t think the locals are concerned about the targets of the music, they just don’t like having to endure it as well. And it may have more to do with volume than content of the music.

[CholeraJoe]

Saliva’s “Click, Click Boom” or “Family Reunion” turned up really high would be good.

It is against the Geneva Convention. No nerve gas, bio weapons or accordions.

Good idea. A direct assault on the vagus nerve.
